Since no flute recital is complete without a bird song, we move to Amparo Ángel's El Encantador de Pájaros, op. 24, a fantasy for solo flute that draws on the rich folk music traditions of her native Colombia. With over 1,900 bird species, Colombia boasts the most diverse avian population in the world. The piece is full of colorful melodies, rhythmic variations and virtuosic techniques that showcase the flute's agility and versatility. Ángel's work creates a vivid musical landscape, evoking the playful flights and songs of birds in flight.
